Rodan in sequel - Potential clue hidden at the forefront of the movie

Post by Jeff-Goldblum1 »

By that I mean, Rodan's score is used within the movie. You can hear it during the credits as well.

Did they use this as a clue that Rodan will be appearing in the 2020 sequel?

I doubt it. We don't even know if there's going to be a sequel. And Hideaki Anno wouldn't have put any sequel hints in, because he's not interested in doing one.

And if anything, that music would suggest King Ghidorah, as it's the main theme of Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster.

No.... that would mean Mechagodzilla, King Ghidorah, and the Natal aliens would be appearing.

Mechagodzilla (1975) AND Mechagodzilla II as both of their respectful movies had their music used.

Well, the bottom line IS, that we need something other than Shin Goji hisself in the sequel. And why wouldn't there be a sequel? Shin Godzilla was a HUGE hit in Japan, taking in around $80 mil., against a production budget of only $15 mil., not counting the merchandising. Even if Anno doesn't take a direct hand in it, there WILL be a sequel. I'd bet money on it...

I know, but they're both Mechagodzilla :)

Short answer - no.

Toho and in particular the Ifukube tracks love being recycled for the next film or "reincarnated" as another "new" track entirely. By the same logic as above, we can confirm that the Angels from Neon Genesis will show up because Decisive Battle was used or as someone else mentioned above, the Natal Aliens from War in Outer Space.

Has anyone considered the possibility of reimagining other classic Toho monsters as spawns from the tip of the tail of Shin Godzilla?

Yeah that's been an idea for a while. Personally I'd hate that idea though, because it would turn Shin from being a unique idea into him just literally shitting out generic Shin spawn monsters. Honestly I'd love it if a Rodan completely unrelated to Shin, a normal ass monster, just came in and fought Shin though unless other monsters get a nice buff it'll be quick.

I dunno, I think an agile fast monster like Rodan might be an interesting challenge. Shin is just a ridiculously slow, nearly immobile turret. Dodge lasers for a bit and he'll just freeze and you can peck/claw/bite him to dust at your leisure.

Imagine an aerial battle between the Hypothetical Airborn Shin and Shin Rodan :)

Ha! While I cringe at the thought of flying Shin, if he has to fly that would be the best scenario for it to happen. Rodan could pull the sudden-stop-kamikaze-ram maneuver like he did to KG, but in glorious cgi!

Can we lock this? This thread is ridiculous..
Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.

I think Shin Godzilla can work as a standalone without the need of another kaiju. Which is weird of me to say, because I love kaiju fights. But I think his abilities and origin make him so interesting that I'd rather have more movies involving just him and expanding upon it and what Shin can do than have other monsters.

Yeah but the humans vs Shin can get stale pretty quickly. Unless they update weaponry or have the baby shins attack.

I believe the idea of having Shin in his current state/form fighting anything would be a little ridiculous and would defeat the purpose of the original. It would literally be a one to one remake of Godzilla and Godzilla Raids Again, with one being a masterpiece, and the other being schlock.

Another thing is that the film clearly states that if Godzilla awakens again, him and that section of Japan would be nuked, meaning the moment activity is detected by foreign powers, bye bye.

If and when Shin has a sequel, I hope it does a more original approach more akin to "Scifi Toho films", similar to Matango.

I feel like Shin Godzilla is just too good and different to make a sequel.

Sorta like JAWS. Unless the sequel is just absolutely amazing and had even more talent and imagination then even Shin Godzilla had. I just feel it will not be able to live up to it's predecessor's shadow.

The film is just too unique and different to be able to produce a good sequel. And in my opinion I feel that it's better that this Universe ended on it's ending scene.

Now it's clear that Shin Godzilla will remain as a "polarizing Standalone" movie. As Shin gets no sequel it will just enhance its legacy.
